Chapter Seventy-Five: Slaughtering the Village

The new prescription took a long time to boil, and Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan heard the news of the government's slaughter of the village before the medicine was boiled.

Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan looked at the medicine jar and the prescription at the same time, afraid that there would be any more omissions, if they were wrong again this time, they would really have nothing to do.

"Son, son, where are you?" At that moment, a woman's panicked call was suddenly heard outside the door.

Jiang Liuli looked at the visitor irritably, what she needed most at this time was quiet, but there were always people who came to disturb her, which made her irritable and wanted to beat people.

"Mother, why did you come here, hurry up." The man who had been squatting next to the medicine jar suddenly stood up, dropped the fan in his hand, and tried to pull the woman out, but he was afraid that his disease would spread to her, and he did not dare to touch her.

"Son, let's get out of here, it's too late if we don't leave." The woman didn't care so much, she just pulled him out.

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand and kept a certain distance from her, in this world, he only had such a relative as his mother, and he couldn't let her suffer from illness because of himself.

"Mother, Dr. Lan already has a way to cure the epidemic, I will go to you when I get better, now you can go back first." The man said in surprise.

"Really? Has the epidemic been cured? The woman's eyes widened in astonishment, for she had heard about it in the past two days, and knew that the plague had not been completely cured, otherwise there would have been no deaths.

"Yes, mother, your son will be well soon." The man said excitedly that when he was cured, he would be able to leave the village.

"No, you come with me now, or we'll all die here." After thinking about it, the woman decided to leave with her son.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered? Only then did the man realize that something was wrong with the woman, and he had forced himself to be treated here obediently two days ago, so why did he suddenly change his mind now?

"Oh, the government is ready to slaughter the village, let's run away." The woman said anxiously, she wanted to pull her son away, but she couldn't.

"What? Slaughter the village? Lan Tingxuan, who had been paying attention to the heat, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, he didn't expect that the government would make such a decision.

Jiang Liuli didn't feel too surprised when she heard it, the epidemic is an incurable disease in the eyes of the government, and it spreads quickly, if there is really no way to cure it, you can only slaughter the village, although it is very cruel, but it is better than the spread of the epidemic, if the epidemic spreads to other places, more people will die at that time.

"Yes, the government has come and is ready to burn us alive in the village." The woman said with a sad face.

"No, there are more than 30 people in the village, how can you say that you will be burned to death." Lan Tingxuan said anxiously.

"Let's go and see if the government can accommodate you for two days." Jiang Liuli spoke slowly, if the medicine was useful, it would be enough to make those infected with the epidemic better in two days.

"Let's go." Lan Tingxuan couldn't stay for a moment, so he left the medicine that was still boiling and went out, afraid that it would be too late for the government to start burning the village.

Jiang Liuli looked at the medicine behind him, and estimated that it would take a while to get ready, so he followed him to the entrance of the village with confidence.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that the villagers were gathered together, and in front of them were officers and soldiers, and there was a lot of grass beside them, and it seemed that they really planned to burn the village.

"Official, please, spare us, we really haven't contracted the epidemic." None of these villagers were infected with the epidemic and were begging the government.

"You can't leave the village for the sake of doing it once and for all." The person at the head seems to be the county magistrate, and what he says does not give the villagers a way to live at all.

"The county lord begs you, let us go." Seeing this, the village name hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, but unfortunately the county commander didn't even blink an eye, and didn't pay attention to their pleas at all.

"Hurry up, set fire to the village for me, do you want to be infected with the epidemic yourself if you stay any longer?" The county commander retreated again and again, keeping a distance from the villagers, and at the same time ordered the officers and soldiers behind him to hurry up.

When the officers and soldiers got the order, they hurriedly threw the haystack at hand into the village, the action and speed were extremely fast, and they were probably worried that they would be infected with the epidemic after staying for a long time.

"Stop." Seeing this, Lan Tingxuan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, but unfortunately no one listened to him at all, so he could only run to the entrance of the village quickly.

"Lord Prefectural, I have found a cure for the epidemic, please give me time, I will heal the patients here." Lan Tingxuan saluted the county order, even if he was in a hurry, the number of courtesies was still indispensable.

"Oh? Are you telling the truth? The county magistrate looked incredulous, the epidemic was different from other diseases, and no one had ever cured the epidemic in a hundred years.

"Yes, please give us two more days from the county order, if the patient here is not cured after two days, then it will be dealt with by the adults." Lan Tingxuan knew that the county magistrate didn't believe what he said, so he could only fight for a few more days, and believed that he would not object.

"If the epidemic doesn't alleviate in two days, you'll die by then, you know?" Although the county commander didn't believe what he said, he also wanted to give it a try, if it could be cured, it would be the best, if it was not healed well, it would still be the result of today, and he would not suffer.

"Students know." Lan Tingxuan's answer not only shocked Jiang Liuli, but even the county order was shocked, only Xiucai could claim to be a student.

"You're a showman?" The county commander looked him up and down in surprise, he did look like a literati.

"Yes." Lan Tingxuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, few people know that he is a showman, and in the eyes of others, he is just a doctor.

"Okay, since it's your promise, then I'll give you two days, and I'll come back then." The prefectural order agreed without thinking about it this time.

"Master Xie." Lan Tingxuan continued to salute politely, which made the county magistrate very satisfied.

After the county commander left with the officers and soldiers, the villagers were not so happy, they were still worried, and it seemed that they did not believe that Lan Tingxuan could cure the epidemic.

Jiang Liuli didn't want to explain more, they would prove it with practical actions when the time came, and Lan Tingxuan naturally thought the same.

The two were worried about the medicine boiling in the pharmacy, so they left first, and the man who came with them tried to leave with them, but his mother grabbed him by the arm and couldn't leave.

Jiang Liuli returned to the pharmacy and looked at the boiled medicine, although it was almost there, but it still needed to wait a little longer until the medicinal juice in the medicine jar could be boiled to a bowl.

After the medicine was boiled, the man who left with them came back, and when he saw Jiang Liuli pouring the medicine into the bowl, he hurriedly picked it up and prepared to drink it, but she snatched it away.

"It's not the medicine you drink." She put the medicine bowl down and picked up another medicine bowl and handed it to him.

He looked at her suspiciously, and finally took the medicine bowl in her hand, and when he found that it was not so hot, he drank it all in one go.

After drinking it, he was even more puzzled, because these medicines were completely different from the previous drinks, and they were not so unpleasant, could it be that the newly developed medicines tasted like this?

"Actually, you just have a general cold, the reason why you vomit and diarrhea is because you have eaten unclean things before, as for why your face is so sallow, so pale, it is simply caused by yourself being scared of yourself." Jiang Liuli saw the doubts on his face and kindly answered him.

As soon as her words came out, not only he was stunned, but even Lan Tingxuan was stunned, he didn't expect that this person was really not infected with the epidemic.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" The man looked at her in disbelief, afraid that she was playing with herself.

"What am I lying to you for?" She looked at him amusedly, and told him the truth, but he still didn't believe it, did he really want to get infected with the epidemic.

Lan Tingxuan hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the man's hand and took the pulse, and then slowly put it down after reading it.

"You really didn't catch the epidemic, it's just a general cold, if I take your pulse as soon as possible, why do you need to drink those useless medicines." Lan Tingxuan smiled helplessly.

Only then did the man believe that he was really not infected with the epidemic, and immediately regretted it, Lan Tingxuan had said that he wanted to take his pulse, but he was ruthlessly refused, as for the useless medicine he drank, maybe it was his own punishment.

Jiang Liuli didn't say anything to him anymore, and went to give it to those patients with the medicine bowl, while Lan Tingxuan left with her, leaving him standing alone in place.

After thinking for a while, he tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, covered his face, and hurriedly chased them.

Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan distributed the medicine bowls one by one, and the epidemic contracted by these patients was not very serious, so they were able to drink it by themselves.

The more seriously ill people live in the backyard house, which is a little away from here, and they are all lying in bed and unable to get up, and they need to rely on them to help them.

After the man came in, he also joined their team, helping to distribute the medicine bowls, and if some were too weak to come over and get the medicine, he would personally deliver them.

Jiang Liuli raised her eyebrows and looked at the man who had suddenly changed, not understanding what could make people who were so afraid of death come to take care of these infectious disease people fearlessly.

Lan Tingxuan naturally noticed his changes, looked at him curiously, and then looked at Jiang Liuli, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"What's your name?" Jiang Liuli saw the puzzlement in Lan Tingxuan's eyes, but she didn't give her an answer, because she didn't know the answer either.

"Wu Dachun." The man explained slowly, the work in hand still non-stop.

"Then you take care of it here, and I'll go to the backyard with Dr. Lan." Jiang Liuli was not in a hurry to ask him, the top priority now was to let these people finish drinking the medicine and then see the effect.

"Okay." He nodded, then continued to bow his head and hand out the medicine bowls to the crowd.

Jiang Liuli saw that he was doing it seriously, so he went to the backyard with Lan Tingxuan with confidence, and the patients there were the ones they were most concerned about.

There were eight people living in the house, five men and three women, five of them were middle-aged people, but the three were young and strong men, they were all people who were hovering on the verge of death, and now except Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan, no one could save them.
